As October 10th is World Mental Health Day, throughout the today, every year group has learnt about what mental health is, discussed this topic and completed different activities based upon this. Why not ask your child/ren about what they have learned today?

Well done to all the children for being amazing. They are learning so much in all the areas of development especially when playing with other children and being kind to each other, talking about thier feeling and learning how we have to behave in school to make it a fun and positive experience.
Here are a few highlights.
Baking bun's
Playing hide and seek in the woods.

Go for a walk in the woods and notice the 1 2 and 3 pattern formation's and signs of Autumn.
Thank-you for your support and have a good weekend.

What a busy day we have had continuing to look at The little Red Hen!
On the painting table, we created hens using our hands! We painted our hands brown and red then pressed it down on the paper with our fingers spread out. This made the body then we added detail using yellow paint.
On the cutting and sticking table, we used different shades of brown and red to make a collage of a hen. We used cellophane, card and tissue paper.
In maths we were recognising and understanding the numbers 1, 2 and 3. We played different games where we had to get into different groups depending how many claps we heard and which number we saw.
How much fun we have had subitising and making hens today!

What a busy and exciting day we have had today continuing to look at our feelings. We have been looking at the book The Colour Monster by Anna Llenas. The children have used their fine-motor skills following patterns on the different monsters and have created their own monsters on the painting and cutting and sticking table.
In maths, we have been sorting and matching buttons. The children chose different ways to group the buttons. Some chose to group them by size, colour and the number of holes in the middle of the buttons.
On the cutting and sticking table, the children used different coloured paper to create their very own monsters. They had to use scissors to make arms, legs, eyes and other features they wanted on their monsters before sticking them together with glue. How friendly they all look!
In painting, the children used different brushstrokes and blended colours together to make their own creations.
What a monster-tastic day we have had today!
